Wonderland. Alice in Wonderland is a novel about a young girl named Alice who fell down a well. This well that Alice fell down into was a portal to a wonderland. Down in this wonderland, Alice met countless creatures and people such as Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, and King of Hearts. The reason for Alice in Wonderland to be banned from public libraries in view of the fact that the story (supposedly) puts animals and humans on the same level, has numerous references to different drugs, and a large…

This is something Tim Burton knows all too well on how to portray in his films. Burton has a way of giving off a pitiful, scared, or uneasy feeling toward a character that will later on be the “good guy.” Burton has always had a love for childlike stories and films, and now in almost all of his movies a child, teen, or someone…

“Curiouser and curiouser!” is the exclamation Alice cries out as she witnesses the absurdities of Wonderland, a magical and frightening, dream world (Carroll 8). It is a statement all readers can certainly agree with as Alice makes her way through a plethora of different, but equally disturbing settings. Her journey begins simply enough at the bank of a river with her sister, when out of the blue, a white, clothed, talking* rabbit hops past her. Alice hastily follows it right into an…

The Mad Hatter hugged me and said ‘he would never let her take me.’…
